The SeeingNano Project

The SeeingNano Project is creating Novel Visualisation Tools for Enhanced Nanotechnology Awareness to provide the public with the ability to ‘see at the nanoscale’, and an understanding and awareness of the breadth of nanotechnologies – and the uncertainties and potential risks connected to them.

The SeeingNano Visualisation Tools are available to the wider community on this website where the tools and guidance documents are available for download in the ‘Resources‘ section. More information on the science is also available in the ‘Background‘ section.

SeeingNano is following a coordinated collaborative approach conducted by leading experts in the relevant fields: target audiences are scrutinised by the consortium’s socio-economic sciences and humanities experts, who – in collaboration with the state-of-the-art information and visualisation partners – elaborate and agree on the most appropriate toolset. The scientific and technical content is provided by experts from the nanotechnology research community in collaboration with experts from risk-communication and nanotoxicology.
